Russian climate is very changeable. That is why since ancient times people looked for the opportunity to store meals for a long time. That times appeared dried products like fish that Russian name “vobla”, herbal teas and so on. Special kind of food in Russia was frozen food. |
Of course, frozing meals was possible only in winter, because no refrigerators were invented then.
The most popular frozen Russians foods – pelmeni (ravioli). It is very tasty dish made of meat covered with unleavened dough.
Nowadays Russian pelmeni can be bought in every shop in this country. But a lot of hostesses continue to cook them at home, because Russians think, that the most tasty pelmeni are hand made.
Frozen pelmeni are very easy to cook. It is nessesary to put them to salted boiling water and wait them to be ready. Russians prefer to eat pelmeni with sour cream.
Another kind of frozen food that is popular in Russia is vareniki. The main difference of pelmeni and vareniki – their fillings. Vareniki have vegetables or berries inside them.
In Russian the most popular vareniki fillings are popatoes and cherry.
Pelmeni and vareniki are traditionally frozen foods.
But today, when every shop and supermarket has refrigerators, Russian companies begin to froze different foods. Among of them pies, thin pankes with filling and some other popular meals.
